If you want my attention, use food. If you want my undying love and affection, use chocolate. Obviously, our friends at the Teal Cat Project know the way into the hearts and pocketbooks of cat ladies like me, as evidenced by their latest collaboration with Lagusta's Luscious, an artisanal vegan chocolate shop located in New Paltz, NY.

For the month of March, if you purchase a box of Tabby Toffee, half of the $20 cost will go towards supporting the efforts of the Teal Cat Project. Founded last year by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, the TCP raises funds for cat rescue organizations by taking old cat tchotchkes and upcycling them into cool new kitty treasures. All of the money they make from the teal painted figures - which come from thrift shops and generous donations - is then donated to their affiliated kitty cat rescue programs.

But back to the chocolates.

If you weren't already sold on these tabbies based on their fine looks, then how about their winnng personalities? After all, it's what's on the inside that really counts - right?
